The problem
Darwin fans get filthy faster than anywhere
Run almost year-round in the heat and humidity, ceiling fans pull a constant film of dust onto the top of every blade, the bit you can't see from the ground. Left long enough it turns to a greasy grime that's hard to shift and throws the blade off balance. Doing it yourself means a ladder, a bucket and dust all over the room. So Fan Cleaners does it for you: drop cloths down, every blade cleaned top and bottom, dust gone.
What a ceiling fan clean includes
- Every blade cleaned top and bottom
- Housing and motor cage wiped down
- Light fitting on the fan cleaned (where fitted)
- Drop cloths under every fan; all dust removed
- Before-and-after photo of every fan
- One exhaust fan cleaned free
High ceilings, raked ceilings and stairwell fans
A lot of Darwin homes have a raked ceiling over the living area, a fan on a long drop rod above a stairwell, or a void that puts the blades three or four metres up. Those are the fans that never get done, because a household ladder does not safely reach them and nobody wants to try.
Residential pricing is set by fan count. If the job needs ladders beyond standard household height, high-ceiling access adds $30 to the visit. Tell us at booking if a fan sits in a void, stairwell or high rake so the quoted total is settled before we arrive.
Tell us at booking if a fan is up in a void or on a rake so we bring the right platform for it. If one is genuinely out of safe reach we will say so before the visit rather than on the day.

When the clean is for an inspection
Most ceiling fan cleans are just housekeeping. Two are not: a Defence Housing move, and a rental inspection you have to pass. Both need the price settled up front and a photo of every fan, so each has its own page.
Fan Cleaning Before a Rental Inspection
One line item fixed for a fixed price, without booking a whole clean. Includes what a bond clean may not cover.

Questions
Ceiling fan cleaning in Darwin, your questions
How much for ceiling fan cleaning in Darwin?
$189 fixed for up to 5 ceiling fans, $249 for 6–8, and $319 for 9 or more. Every booking includes one free exhaust fan cleaning, and extra exhaust fans are $25 each. High-ceiling access adds $30 when ladders beyond standard household height are needed.
How often should I clean ceiling fans in Darwin?
Most Darwin homes are due every 6 to 12 months. Through the build-up and wet season, humidity makes dust cling to the blades and turn greasy, so fans that run day and night get dirty sooner. If you can see a ridge of dust along the top of each blade from the floor, the fan is overdue.
Do you clean the light too?
Yes, where there's a light fitted to the fan we clean it in the same visit at no extra charge. The housing and motor cage get wiped down as well, so the whole unit looks right from below, not just the blades. The before-and-after photo of each fan shows you the difference.
Do you repair or balance fans?
No, cleaning only. We don't touch motors, wiring, balancing or repairs, so a fan with an electrical fault needs an electrician. Worth knowing, though: a lot of wobble and noise comes from dust caked unevenly on the blades, and a proper clean often settles it. If it doesn't, at least you'll know the problem isn't grime.
Can you clean mould off ceiling fans?
Yes. The surface mould and mildew that shows up on blades and housings through Darwin's wet season comes off in a standard clean. Every blade is degreased and wiped top and bottom, so the grey speckle and the sticky film go together. What we don't do is mould remediation: mould inside walls or ceiling cavities needs a specialist, and we'll tell you if we see something a clean won't fix.
Which suburbs does your fan cleaning service cover?
All of Greater Darwin: the city and northern suburbs (including Nightcliff, Fannie Bay, Casuarina and Leanyer), Palmerston (including Palmerston City and Zuccoli) and the Litchfield rural area. Same fixed price across Darwin and Palmerston; for rural blocks we confirm when you book.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully insured, with the certificate available on request. It matters because fan cleaning means ladders over your furniture and floors: if anything were damaged on the job, you're covered rather than out of pocket. Drop cloths go under every fan anyway, and all the dust leaves with us when we go.
